The membership of the National Youth Work Advisory Committee is appointed by the Minister for Health and Children under the provisions of Sections 17 and 18 of the Youth Work Act, 2001. The appointment of a new nominee of the Irish Vocational Educational Association (IVEA) cannot take place until the existing IVEA representative resigns from his position. My Office has been in contact with the IVEA in this regard and is awaiting a letter of resignation from the current member.
